YouTube is tricking people who search for ISIS videos | Houston Chronicle

YouTube unveiled its latest weapon in its effort to combat terrorist propaganda on its site: redirection.

Users who search for such content will now be directed to videos that show victims of terrorism and clerics refuting violent religious narratives.

Social media giants such as Facebook, Twitter and Google have been rushing to respond to the wave of hate speech and terrorist propaganda flooding their platforms where it can be accessed by people with a penchant for violent behavior.
